Invoice job for a AP program

I moved your posting to the Procurement forum...

Here is our problem explained a little more clearly. We are looking for a way to input direct invoices (by direct invoices i mean invoices that come in and do not match an existing purchase order already in lawson). We are planning on using AP520 to input invoices. The problem is that AP520 takes 2 CSV files, 1 for the invoice (we will call that inv.txt), and 1 for the distribution files (dist.txt).

We know we can input inv.txt alone without dist.txt through the AP520 interface. We need a way to upload inv.txt, then send dist.txt at a later time, when dist.txt gets created from our separate workflow. Lawson has told us that AP520 does not allow us to upload dist.txt alone with having inv.txt. (We are sending dist.txt from our custom made interface that interacts with FileNet.)

We are looking for any way that we can update an unreleased invoice, which came from inv.txt, after it has already been uploaded. We need need this to use some sort of batch program that we can automatically feed these text files into, not use a form within lawson.

I know this is still confusing, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can load invoice headers with the MS Addin's tool. Then add the distibs later as well.
